Homeland Security Is Almost Ready For Border Wall Design Proposals

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it's almost ready to accept "prototype wall structure" designs for Trump's project at the U.S.-Mexico border.

SHOW TRANSCRIPT

President Donald Trump made a promise during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.

"We're going to build a wall," Trump said. "Don't worry about it. We're building the wall; we're building the wall. In fact, it's going to start soon, way ahead of schedule."

And not long after, U.S. Customs and Border Protection released a notification that it will soon take submissions for "prototype wall structures."

It's the first tangible step toward meeting Trump's executive order on border security that he signed in January. Trump has said the barrier would run for 1,000 miles along the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico. Some sort of barrier already runs some 700 miles along the border.
